    Nuts, chocolate, cake, cottage cheese is good.. Cheese!! Nuts are my new best friend for when I am working and just burning up the calories!! I just had a smarties cookie that was 187 calories, I like dunking choccy in my tea too!!
    Obviously takeaway food and dining out!!

    All fatty meats, all pasta, anything made with lard - like real lard, whale (better start fishing), add oil/butter to everything you cook - ALOT, deep dish pizzas

    and any fast food you can find - eat it all.

    Done.

    items that are.....

    high fat
    low water content
    low fiber content
    low "air' content

    Pasta has very little water, little air & little fiber. that's why it's calorie dense.

    most fruits & veggies are the opposite, because high in water & fiber.

    Various forms of nut butters are among the absolute top. About 100 calories for one table spoon and healthy too.

    On occasion (not very often) I have used that to quickly make up a calorie deficit. Usually in form of a block of dark chocolate smeared with peanut or almond butter as you would a piece of toast. That is a solid 1000-1300 calories right there.

    For actual meals, Pizza is a good choice. The kind I usually order is somewhere in the 2500 - 3000 calorie range.
